Pat’s path to digital marketing has been, well... let's just say, unconventional. After graduating from  West Virginia University he lived near the beltway in Washington, D.C. and wore a suit every day. Thankfully, he quickly realized that a shirt and tie weren’t going to cut it. He returned to his home state of West Virginia and resumed life as a whitewater rafting guide on the New & Gauley Rivers. The little company where he worked needed a marketing person, and Pat got the job. It was 1997, the Internet was coming to life and the company had no marketing budget. Zero. He learned ways to utilize the web and began learning the art of Search Engine Optimization. It's been a long journey from there to Digital Relativity.

Justin was born in West Virginia, moved away, and then moved back again to work with Digital Relativity. He just couldn’t resist the Mountain State.  At Digital Relativity, he develops mobile applications and keeps the rest of the team educated on Apple’s every move.  He likes knowing that what he brings to the table is a perspective that is typically at least ten years younger than other people in the industry (don’t rub it in or anything, Justin).  He likes to hike and is the MFV (most frequent visitor) at several local restaurants and is studying Computer Science at Mountain State University.

Here's why I love being the Synchronicity Facilitator here at Digital Relativity. People want fresh content on demand. The refresh rate of social media challenges web sites to maintain pace so their visitors keep coming back. A content creator needs to fulfill a number of roles in todays marketing environment. That's one great thing about being a part of the team at Digital Relativity. I don't have to hold a singular job title like graphic designer, photographer, videographer, web developer, user interface designer, blogger, etc. Instead I get to fulfill different needs as they arise. Or better yet…. create that need. Enter the "Synchronicity Facilitator." Say you're a craft brewer who needs to let your fans know about a brand new beer that you're just about to put on the taps of local restaurants. Your smart phone says you received an email from a restaurant owner. Their followers want to know what's going to be on tap. They want to tweet and post a link in their status to your blog post with a picture of your new beer. Coincidence? Synchronicity. In my spare time…. My latest project is renovating an old coal camp house in historic Fayetteville, WV. In 1997 I escaped Columbus, Ohio to pursue the thrilling lifestyle of a whitewater video kayaker. Also I enjoy CrossFit, juggling, game shows and the warmth of a small community.
